Roof Preparation Underway for Solar Panel Installation at the Woolworth Building

F.W. Woolworth solar panels
Mounting brackets are laid out in precise locations on the Woolworth building roof in preparation for the solar panels.

Preparatory steps are underway on the roof of the Woolworth building to prepare for the upcoming installation of solar panels. Teams have measured the roof to confirm precise placement and are installing mounting brackets that will support the panels once they arrive. Panel placement is planned so the system is out of view from street level, allowing the building’s exterior appearance to remain unchanged. This addition brings modern sustainability to the Woolworth building while preserving its historic character.
